Taiwanese-style pepper steak with egg

Method

1. Combine the soy sauce, five spice powder, brown sugar and ground peppercorns in a bowl. Place the steak in the marinade for 1-2 hours - turning once.

2. Heat 2 tablespoons of the groundnut oil in a heavy-based frying pan or skillet, and fry the steak, pouring in the rest of the marinade as it cooks. For medium-cooked steak, cook for 3-4 minutes on each side.

3. While the steak is cooking, fry the eggs in the remaining oil, but don't overcook them. Spoon a heap of rice in the centre of a serving plate, place the steak in the middle, and top with the lightly-fried egg. If you like your steaks seriously spicy, pour over any reduced juices from the pan - it does taste very peppery, so be judicious!
